Interrelationships among children's language, behavior, and emotional problems

Journal/Book: Top Lang Disord. 1999; 19: 7201 Mckinney Circle, Frederick, MD 21704, USA. Aspen Publ Inc. 1-15.

Abstract: Prevalence studies of co-occurring emotional/behavioral problems and language problems suggest that there is substantial overlap among these populations of children. Literature is reviewed that suggests that children with co-occurring problems may not be receiving the comprehensive service delivery programs they need. The role of language in emotional/behavioral regulation and social interaction is reviewed and implications for speech-language pathology relative to language assessment, intervention, and counseling of parents and other professionals are discussed.
